An improvised personal weblog.

(I wrote this a few weeks ago, but I thought it might be worth sharing here.)
I'm a little exasperated with some colonial New Englanders. I came across them while trying to figure out the kinship between some politicians.
You see, some time in the seventeenth century, in Connecticut, Stephen Freeman and Hannah Astwood got married, and had a daughter, Sarah Freeman. Sarah Freeman married Thomas Judd, son of William Judd, and had a son, William Judd.
Sounds totally normal, no?
But just once wasn't enough. They did it all TWICE.
Stephen Freeman (born 1580) married Hannah Astwood (born 1584), and had a daughter, Sarah Freeman (born 1612). Sarah Freeman married Thomas Judd (born 1608), son of William Judd (born 1583), and had a son William Judd (born 1636).
Stephen Freeman (born 1630) married Hannah Astwood (born 1640), and had a daughter, Sarah Freeman (born 1669). Sarah Freeman married Thomas Judd (born 1667), son of William Judd (born 1636), and had a son William Judd (born 1689).
A few of those birthyears are approximate, but you get the idea.
And yeah, the 1636-born William Judd is the same guy in both scenarios.
What are the odds of all this happening by chance? Connecticut in 1680 had less than 10,000 people.
Sure, a lot of them were named Stephen and Hannah and Sarah and Thomas and William.
But Astwood?
I was thinking somebody must have transcribed a bunch of this stuff wrong.
But the more I look, the more actual documentation I find for BOTH sets of circumstances.
Today, I had to run up to Lansing to testify before the Michigan House Elections and Ethics Committee.
I didn't bother to complain about a hearing on election law changes being held on Election Day; others had done that already.
The package of bills under consideration would restrict which election dates schools, libraries, and local governments could put property tax increase proposals on the ballot: in August primaries or November general elections, and not at the February and May elections.
The sponsors of these bills, and evidently most of the committee, are concerned about the possibility of tax increases ("millages", in Michigan parlance) being slipped through with few people noticing.
I was speaking, as a county clerk, on behalf of the Michigan Association of County Clerks. We wanted to convey that the little "fix" in these bills misses the point about larger problems with Michigan's election schedule.
Here's what I said:
The committee members showed little reaction to my speech.
The only question was about all the arguably unnecessary things which a ballot question raising property taxes may (or may not) be legally required to explicitly mention on the printed ballot itself, such as the names of every tax increment financing district in the jurisdiction. Of course, the Legislature has the power to change what is legally required.
After that, I hurried back to Ann Arbor.
When I listen to a song, my mind often seizes on certain sets of words, a line or two, which stay with me and become the focal point whenever I hear the song again. These both reflect and have influenced my ways of thinking, speaking, and writing.
So here's a small collection of personally memorable lines from songs — meaningful, funny, evocative or ridiculous. You'll recognize many of the songs, I'm sure. You may even recognize the way these words and themes and rhythms show up in my own communications.
~ A letter of marque came from the King
~ Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
~ A mistress to magicians, and a dancer to the gods
~ And here I sit so patiently
~ And I lay traps for troubadours
~ And I recall the gentle courtesy you showed me as I tried
~ And the goldenrod he has cast in
~ An old man wandering lonely.
~ Blow your whistle, up through the pines
~ Down among the weeds and tincans
~ Es vet a poyk tun undzer trot -- mir zaynen do!
~ Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
~ Get ready for the big time
~ Guys I went to school with want to see me outside.
~ He looks around and around
~ He said, "I love you"
~ How do the angels get to sleep
~ I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.
~ I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
~ If I shiver, please give me a blanket
~ I found a ticket in my pocket, all the way from Port of Spain
~ If the real thing don't do the trick
~ I know what your game is
~ In the east, the wind is blowing
~ I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin, I've seen a tough man cry
~ I was lying in a burned out basement
~ I would send a message to find out if she's talked
~ Je ne demande rien pour me dédommager
~ Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
~ Lights flicker from the opposite loft
~ Listen son, said the man with the gun
~ Look out, you rock 'n rollers
~ Mercy on the mourners, someone's mourning all the while.
~ No sugar tonight in my coffee
~ Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
~ Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.
~ People couldn't believe what I'd become.
~ Rebels storm the palace, what do they find
~ Return to sender
~ She tells me, keep your money
~ 66 is modern poetry; 44 is modern art
~ Spider spins his heart out, fox goes home alone
~ Staccato signals of constant information
~ Take a minute to concentrate
~ The angel opens her eyes
~ The little towns blossomed
~ The papers holds their folded faces to the floor
~ There's a train, every day, leaving either way
~ The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
~ The smell of hospitals in winter
~ The waitress is practicing politics
~ They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
~ Through the flower scented garden
~ Voices red with anger, burning in my ears
~ When I was the patron saint of losers
~ When Love laid out her table, were you down there with the bums?
~ When we meet again, introduced as friends
~ Who are these amigos, all scattered like dry leaves?
~ Who's that lounging in – my – chair?
~ Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
~ You know there ain't no Devil, there's just God when he's drunk
~ You're the joke of the neighbourhood
~ You've been all over
Among a recent catalog of the downsides of living in Ann Arbor was the following:
This is terrible, yes, but local culture and institutions are rapidly disappearing everywhere in the U.S. Just compare any town this size or smaller with the way it was 25 years ago, and count the unique things that are gone today. I'm thinking of places like Sedalia, MO, or Watertown, NY, or Amarillo, TX, or Sebastopol, CA. Collectively, the losses are just staggering.
(There's another side to this, of course: "the way things used to be" is usually seen through rose-colored glasses, as if it were a lost golden era. Standardization, nationalization, and the Internet have brought tremendous benefits during that time. Still, one of the consequences is the declining significance of place.)
Ann Arbor, as usual, is late to the party. A couple of examples from the political realm:
(1) When we arrived here in 1990, Ann Arbor was a veritable museum of archaic political structures. Not just the old-fashioned model of a partisan, ward-based city council, almost unique in Michigan and still in force today, but ward-based political parties (a "ward chair" of either party was an important figure) which were continuously active and held meetings, raised money, recruited candidates, etc. City elections were held on the first Monday in April, a date the rest of the state abandoned with the 1963 Constitution. "Democrat" and "Republican" had distinctly local meanings; Ann Arborites disdained the way those labels were used in Lansing or Washington. And the city was just about the very last place in the Midwest to use antique lever-handle voting machines, wonderful for voters, but terrifyingly intricate, and full of delicate parts that were no longer being made.
Ann Arbor's electorate, constantly refreshed with new arrivals from elsewhere, ultimately had no patience with these local folkways. City elections were moved to November, and the ward parties quickly died. The nationalization of American politics washed over us; Ann Arbor Democrats and Republicans are now exactly like Democrats and Republicans everywhere else in the U.S. And optical scan paper ballots, safe and sane and recountable, are the rule throughout the state.
(2) For years after most local newspapers had whittled down local content down to almost nothing, the Ann Arbor News continued to (for example) profile and photograph every local school board candidate, including the ones in outlying areas like Lincoln or Saline. Reporters were sent to every meeting of local legislative bodies. News columns were freely slanted according to the publisher's feuds and biases, not just in local politics and business, but in favor of certain high school sports teams and against others. Everybody hated the News, but almost everybody read it. Few realized that its style of journalism was so far out of step with the times.
Until, suddenly, it was taken away. Now, everybody mourns it. Even my 15-year-old daughter is still angry that executives in New York decided to kill our local paper. The number of professional local journalists is now a small fraction of what it once was. Only very engaged townies who have been here for years pay much attention to the boutique substitutes that have sprung up. The antics of local politicians are no longer immediate common knowledge, and participation in local elections is falling.
Just exactly like everywhere else in America.
Those of us of a certain age, who watched a lot of television in 1963 to 1970, are familiar with the theme music from the 1960 Western movie "The Magnificent Seven".
That's because it also became the theme music for Marlboro cigarettes, in thousands of commercials which were an inescapable part of TV viewing in that era. The Marlboro man was a rugged cowboy, usually on horseback, in a wide Western landscape. Eventually the whole set of images could be evoked with the phrase "Marlboro Country," backed with this tune.
Of the music, Wikipedia says: "Along with the iconic main theme and effective support of the story line, the score also contains allusions to twentieth-century symphonic works, such as the reference to Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, second movement, in the tense quiet scene just before the shoot out."
Recently, I had occasion to play a recording of this theme in the presence of my 15-year-old daughter. She didn't recognize it, and insisted that she had never heard it before, never, not ever.
So, what does it make you think of?
Cowboys, she said.
That's one sturdy cultural meme!
This piece of classical music has no lyrics, no hoofbeats, no gunfire, no saloon piano. It alludes musically to the work of a Hungarian composer. Yet the tune, or the style, has become so encoded with cowboys and the Old West that it's obvious even to someone hearing it for the first time.
DeBoer v. Snyder, a case in the federal district court in Detroit, may lead to a ruling for marriage equality in Michigan. A trial is scheduled in February 2014.
Both sides had moved for summary judgement, and at a hearing last Wednesday, October 16, a ruling mandating same-sex marriage was anticipated. Many county clerks around the state, including myself, were ready to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Michigan law provides for a three-day waiting period between the application for a marriage license and the issuance of a license. However, a county clerk has the authority to waive this waiting period. Individual counties handle this very differently. In some counties, such as Calhoun, the waiting period is automatically waived for all applicants. Others waive the waiting period when an applicant gives a reason to do so. Still others, including Washtenaw, charge a fee, ranging from $5 to $100. Our fee is $50, set by the Board of Commissioners at my request. Previously, the fee had been five dollars. But this fee, locally determined, can also be waived by the county clerk.
Given that same-sex couples in Washtenaw County had waited, in some cases, decades for the opportunity to become legally married, I announced that the $50 fee would be suspended, for all applicants regardless of genders, from the time of the decision until the end of the next business day.
On the 16th, a celebratory crowd came to my office, and 66 couples took numbers to apply for a license if and when a decision came down. Clergy and judges were on hand to perform marriages.
The judge, confounding expectations, rejected both motions for summary judgement, and set a trial date in February.
The day ended in disappointment, but I know marriage equality is coming.
I received many expressions of thanks and support, and only one email message of opposition from a constituent.
In my reply to the critical note, I attempted to explain the legal process under which I expect "Marriage Protection Amendment" to be overturned.
I'm sharing both letters here, in hopes that this exchange might be helpful to others.
There was no reply.

Symptoms of Lympho Sarcoma in Cats
Lympho sarcoma is another name for lymphoma. It is defined as the rapid multiplication of malignant lymphocytes inside solid organs like the lymph nodes, spleen, liver and even the bones. It may develop in the eyes, skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Lymphoma in cats is the most common malignant cancer found in the feline species.
In younger cats, lympho sarcoma occurs after an infection with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and sometimes with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). This type of feline cancer involves the lymph nodes, spine and the part of the thoracic cavity between the lungs that contains the heart, aorta, esophagus, trachea and the endocrinal gland thymus (mediastinal lymphoma).
Lymphoma in the gastrointestinal tract is more common in older cats. In older cats, it may even occur without a FeLV infection or after a previous low level of infection. Younger cats tend to have T-cell lymphoma, while older cats are more susceptible to B-cell lymphomas. T-cells are small lymphocytes developed in the thymus that direct the immune system's response to infected or malignant cells. B-cells, on the other hand, are lymphocytes that are derived from bone marrow.
Cats develop more severe symptoms of lymphoma than dogs. While lymphoma cancer in dogs may mean a visibly healthy dog except for the swollen lymph nodes, a cat may show severe symptoms depending upon the location of the lymphoma.
The symptoms that cats with gastrointestinal lymphoma show are weight loss, appetite loss and diarrhea. Mediastinal lymphoma is mostly reflected in respiratory problems and accumulation of fluid in the lungs. If lymphoma forms in the kidney, it produces symptoms like an increase in thirst and urination and ultimately leads to kidney enlargement and failure. Lymphoma in the heart tissue leads to a failure to pump enough blood to reduce congestion in tissues, and an accumulation of fluid in the layers that surround the heart and abnormal muscular contractions. Ocular lymphoma presents symptoms of inflammation inside the eye.
Some forms of lymphoma are slow to heal and can exist without a threat to life, even without treatment. Aggressive lymphomas are treated with a combination of chemotherapeutic drugs. Gastrointestinal lymphomas respond better to chemotherapy than lymphomas that occur in more than one place at a time. As lymphoma in cats is almost always concomitant to current or historical FeLV infection, total remission is rare as it completes the condition to great extent.

Re: Draft "Program" evaluation criteria for implementation of treatment guidelines in workers' compensation cases
Although it may be premature to identify specific clinical outcomes expected of the implementation of utilization and treatment guidelines, it is important to identify outcomes that need to be base lined for program evaluation purposes. (Most simply stated, the question public policymakers will ask is, "Did the implementation of treatment guidelines achieve their intended public policy purpose?"
Based on the stated goal of "Improve quality of care and patient outcomes while controlling costs", a public policy statement that would allow the development of measures might be:
"To ensure all injured workers have access to medical treatment that has significant evidence of improved patient outcomes; to reduce the incidence of inappropriate or unnecessary care; and to improve employee recovery of health and functioning after a work related injury while at the same time, controlling costs."
Based on this public policy purpose and on the intent that such implementation not to negatively affect worker access or satisfaction with care after the implementation, here is what I think policy makers will ask and how you can establish a baseline and develop a plan to measure and report on the success (and effectiveness) of implementation of guidelines:
1. In those claims where the treatment guidelines were followed, do workers have better health and functioning based on return to work rates and patient reported recoveries?
Base line: Record current distribution of TTD disability durations by year of accident at one year after injury and do a baseline worker survey (Jan. of 2010?) using WCRI like survey on patient's reported levels of health before injury, right after injury and at time of survey.
Future measure for comparison: Run distributions of TTD disability durations by year of accident at one year after injury after implementation (and separate compliant and non-compliant with treatment guideline cases); and annually thereafter for each accident year. Also repeat workers' survey annually after implementation and separate by compliant and non-compliant with treatment guideline cases.
Hypothesis: More injured workers will have faster recoveries and be able to return to work more quickly as well as report better overall recoveries.
2. Did injured workers report better or worse access to care and patient satisfaction with care than prior to implementation of treatment guidelines?
Base line: Add questions about whether or not employees reported having trouble getting to see a physician for their injury and why to the worker survey and their level of satisfaction with the care they received (use WCRI language if possible) (Jan of 2010?).
Future measure for comparison: Repeat survey after implementation and separate compliant vs. non-compliant with guidelines cases and do annually.
Hypothesis: The level of access to care and satisfaction with care will not be negatively affected by the implementation of the guidelines.
3. How many physicians treating Montana injured workers are using the utilization and treatment guidelines as of (insert date)? (They cannot possibly be successful if they are not being used, nor can all injured workers have access to the best evidenced based care if most physicians are not using the guidelines)
Base line: Assume physicians are not currently using the "to be adopted" guidelines
Future measure for comparison: 1. Survey physicians who have treated injured workers since implementation of the treatment guidelines in the ERD data base to ask if they are using the treatment guidelines; 2 .Revise medical reporting or billing forms to allow physicians to check off if treatment is consistent with treatment guidelines and record it in the claim data; or 3. Do a claims audit of a random sample of physician's cases to see if they are consistent with treatment guidelines. (Option 3 is probably too costly)
Hypothesis: Physicians that regularly treat injured workers are using the guideline due to the incentives of not having to wait for pre-authorization in cases where treatment is consistent with the guidelines. Therefore, they are widely used by physicians treating injured workers in MT.
4. Are there more or less disputes over the provision of inappropriate or unnecessary medical care being filed with the Employment Relations Division? (Be careful this does not reflect any changing of attorney fees for medical cases instead of the reduction of unnecessary or inappropriate care)
Base line: Report the number of disputes filed (monthly/quarterly/annually) with the department for inappropriate or unnecessary care prior to the implementation.
Future measure for comparison: Number of disputes filed (monthly/quarterly/annually) after full implementation of the guidelines
Hypothesis: If physicians are using the guidelines, there should be fewer disputes over inappropriate or unnecessary treatment.
5. Have medical costs decreased since the implementation of the treatment guidelines?
Base line: Calculate the average cost of medical payments on workers compensation claims with dates of accident of 2008 with payment of all services through December 31, 2009.
Future measure for comparison: Calculate the average cost of medical payments on workers compensation claims with dates of accident after the implementation of utilization and treatment guidelines with payments for services through the first year (or an average of the first year). Plus also monitor the cost of average medical payments on workers' compensation claims by running reports with payments by year of injury with all payments for services through December 31, of each year.
Hypothesis: Once implemented, average medical costs per claims should decrease since there are fewer payments for inappropriate or unnecessary care.
Later you can add whatever additional metrics the physicians believe are necessary for the determination of clinical outcomes.

Do you have
"a concussive type ignition which is both frightening and often dangerous"?
"Step 1 - Clear the Ignition Ports
Ignition ports are tiny holes embedded in the exposed side of the burners. The restriction of these ports is the root cause for a delay. Clean the ignition ports with the sewing needle. Ensure that you do not increase the size of the ignition holes as this will further aggravate the problem."
Maybe soaking them in some kind of a solvent will also work.

Steve Blank Discusses Origin And Future Of Lean Startup Movement
Published: April 14, 2012 at 4:44 pm
I recently spoke with Steve Blank, author of the new book The Startup Owner's Manual. Steve is also a Stanford Professor and noted marketing entrepreneur. He is credited with pioneering the Lean Startup Movement in 2005 via the publication of his bestselling, Four Steps To The Epiphany.
No matter how much you think you know about Steve's lean startup philosophy, Eric Ries' contributions to the movement or the methodologies by which companies have put lean startup tenets into practice, I am confident you will be enlightened and entertained by Steve's frank and insightful remarks.
You can watch / listen to my 20-minute interview with Steve below.
Preaching What You Live
The Lean Startup approach dictates that successful customer development is an iterative process. By conceptualizing, selling, gathering feedback and then developing a product, startups achieve success more quickly and economically. This was exactly the approach Steve took when he self-published Four Steps via Café Press, at the behest of his then star pupil, Eric Ries, Co-Founder of IMVU and the author of The Lean Startup.
According to Steve, "The original version (of Four Steps) was printed on tree bark at Café Press. Eric (Ries) was a student in one of the very earliest customer development classes at Berkley. One of the best students I ever had. Four Steps was essentially my class notes. Eric said, 'Don't you know you can put this stuff on Amazon?' So the fact that it is a badly edited, missing sentences, complete your own and finish your own sentences (book) - basically we can blame it all on Eric. I have to thank him for that."
I have a copy of the initial Café Press version and I can attest to its rough edges (the book's first sentence contains a typo). Once the book achieved commercial success, Steve then expended resources to edit and polish the book. It is fitting and instructive that Steve published Four Steps by putting into practice the lean startup methodologies embodied in the book.
Startup Business Plans Are Oxymoronic
Steve notes that in 2005, when Four Steps was published, conventional wisdom at business schools was that, "Startups are nothing more than a smaller version of a large company. That was the implicit statement. Large companies write business plans, why of course, that's the organizing document for a startup. Ten years later… (we know that) startups are not smaller versions of large companies."Continued on the next page

Everyone loves coconut oil: it's a cholesterol-free alternative to butter that works for a wide variety of uses, from cooking and baking to making moisturizing skin lotions. Plus, a new generation of research is revealing a unique range of nutritional benefits. No wonder the coconut palm is known to people in the tropics as "the Tree of Life!"
There are a lot of organic coconut oils on the market, but you've never had one this pure, fragrant, and delicious: its supremely-smooth texture and flavor is outstanding! Our oil is carefully harvested and expeller-pressed to protect its flavor and nutrient content.
Plenty of new studies are demonstrating that because of its high concentration of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil may actually enhance fat-burning when included in a low-carbohydrate diet. MCTs are also a more efficient, long-lasting source of energy while enhancing feelings of satiety, making them an ideal addition to any weight-loss program. Other exciting research is emerging that suggests coconut oil's MCTs may also provide powerful brain fuel, especially in the elderly. Plus, the primary MCT in coconut oil — Lauric Acid, which is also found in mother's milk — may actually contribute to the body's defense system! It may also help to raise HDL (the "good" cholesterol).
So use as a buttery spread on toast, in soups and smoothies, or as a nourishing skin creme. Or simply take a spoonful every day to supercharge your metabolism and energy!

It's 1989. I'm eleven years old. I cross a cold parking lot with my parents to the Fred Meyer shopping center, shoving my hands into my pockets. Five- and six-foot-tall pine trees, fresh cut, line the front of the building. A skinny man in a Santa outfit rocks back on his heels at the entrance, ringing a tiny silver bell. He hollers a "Ho ho ho!" I'm startled by the store's new automatic sliding doors.
My dad hands me two quarters pinched between his thumb and forefinger. This is a red-letter day. On most trips into town I have to make due with one quarter. I accept the fifty cents with a fist pump and a "Yessss!" It doesn't occur to me for one moment that I could drop one of those quarters into a Salvation Army donation bucket. The thought doesn't cross my mind.
I edge past Skinny Claus and dodge sale signs and shopping carts. I head for the arcade machines lined up next to the restrooms. The strings of Christmas lights, the buzz of overhead florescence, the lottery ticket vending machines--all of that fades when I see that stand of arcades.
Groups of adolescents stare into flickering video game screens. Quarters queue up along joystick panels. "I got next," someone says, and another quarter props up against the lower edge of a game screen. There's a half-full ash tray and a soda-sticky floor in front of a 1943 machine. With typically only twenty-five cents in my hand, I have to spend wisely. That means no fighting games; Karate Champ is out. No co-op either; I don't want anyone commenting on how many times my warrior needs food badly. And Dragon's Lair is never an option; I've never seen so many death scenes before or since.
That left the minigame mayhem of Tron with its blue-glowing joystick, Star Wars' vector-graphics assault on the Death Star, or the mundane (by comparison) brick-bashing of Arkanoid. With double my arcade allowance, I have a go at Star Wars. The bombardier strands of flashing asterisks and spinning TIE Fighters make short work of me. I let the continue counter run down to zero.
I step over to the unpopulated Arkanoid machine and breathe deep. I like blocks. With a paddle running along the bottom of the screen and a ball bouncing off predictable geometries, Arkanoid gives this one-quarter-left kid a lot of bang for his buck. Someone watches over my shoulder for a minute as I play, but his quarter doesn't clack up onto the joystick panel. He moves on.
I'm an 8-bit John McEnroe on the Pong-like Arkanoid. But eventually the blocks get the better of me and I can't keep my eye on the ball. Game over.
I dodge sale signs and shopping carts on my way to the LEGO aisle. I sit down in front of a large box standing on the bottom shelf. It's the Black Seas Barracuda: a pirate ship with striped sails, skull-and-crossbones flags, and firing cannons, two to a side. The face of the LEGO box opens like an immense book cover, revealing more scenes of piracy and clear plastic windows into the blocks nested inside.
I sit down on the tile floor. It may be a long wait before my parents finish shopping and come find me. Not that they'll be surprised to find me sitting exactly where I'm sitting. I've been camping on this spot for months. I play a video game and then sit down in front of this particular LEGO ship. This is what I do at eleven years old.
"Son," my dad says. He's standing at the far end of the aisle. "Time to go," he says. I look over at him, the immense Black Seas Barracuda box overwhelming in my lap. I look back at the box. Back at him. Now back to the box. I'm trying to convey a message here. I hope he gets it. It's possible he hasn't gotten the hint after months of me making a bee-line for this LEGO box, sitting in the aisle with it sprawled in my lap, and waiting for him to come find me. I struggle to put the box back on the shelf. It's gotten heavier in my arms. It's gained all the weight of my expectations for a perfect Christmas morning.
"You've got plenty of blocks already, boy. They're at home."
But, just days before Christmas, I see a box with the exact length, width, and height of the Black Seas Barracuda appear under the tree. I haven't touched my other LEGO blocks. I can't build a pirate ship out of my existing collection. I have no imagination.
It's 2011. I'm 33 years old. I'm playing Minecraft for the first time. My one-year-old daughter will be asleep for the next ten hours. My wife will be streaming Netflix for the next two. In Minecraft, sand and water spread out behind me, trees and hills rise up in front of me. I build a small sandcastle for me to fit into; straight walls, square corners, flat roof.
It will be awhile before anyone uploads a video of their scale-model replica of the Starship Enterprise. No one has yet recreated Harry Potter's Hogwarts or Helm's Deep from The Lord of the Rings. I haven't seen the monumental, pixelated constructions of 2-D sprite characters like Super Mario, Goomba, and Yoshi. And even without seeing those, I know my own constructs are weak.
So I explore, the piano-tinkling soundtrack tiptoeing around the world with me. The topography crests in waves and falls to its own death off steep cliffs. The trees huddle in places and scatter in others as I run and jump up the ziggurat-like steps of a cloud-high mountain.
I like blocks. But I don't know what to build. I have no imagination. Never have, really.
I watch instructional videos on YouTube teaching me how to survive my first 15 minutes, but I'm determined to make my own mark on the land, to build my own thing, to draw my own skyline, to cut a brand new architectural silhouette against the square sky. But as much as my mind huffs and puffs, I can't picture what to make.
I dig a square chamber below ground level. I dig a square staircase spiraling down into so much coal and iron. I clean up the facade of my hillside entrance. But I accomplish so little.
I once heard that if you are bored, then you are boring. And here I am, getting bored. Until I remember something else I once heard. This time from my dad.
"You've got plenty of blocks already, boy. They're at home."
So I throw aside my lack of imagination and lack of building blueprints and lack of a LEGO box depicting plunder and looting against a gift-wrapped backdrop. I look up from my laptop in the living room and see my wife on our low green couch, our first major home purchase since buying our home. I see the oak dining table that seats six with the leaflet wedged the middle. I see my brother-in-law's Baldwin piano we're keeping safe until he lives in something bigger than his San Francisco apartment. I see our bookshelves stuffed with books we've only read once, or never.
Looking around, I find my instructions. And I build my home.

Albemarle County Supervisor Christopher Dumler sipped from a Starbucks cup as protesters held up signs at the county meeting, Monday night. Speakers did not mince words about their demand for Dumler to step down.
"This has disrupted peoples lives and he is rolling his "expletive" eyes," said protester Jamie Morgan.
Protesters want Dumler to resign from the board because of his guilty plea to a sexual battery charge in January.
"Victims of sexual violence and their supporters will not be silenced and we're not going away," said a protester.
Police were called in to help restore order after a particularly loud outburst by protester Jamie Morgan.
"Don't sick the pigs to assault me, I will leave the room. I don't want to stare in his face. He's rolling his eyes," said Morgan to a board member.
Morgan yelled out to police, "Don't touch me, Don't touch me, don't touch me," as she was removed from the meeting.
"He was playing on his laptop, he was drinking he's coffee and literally rolling his eyes. I just lost it when he rolled his eyes, said Morgan. "He's not just rolling his eyes with people that are here. He's rolling his eyes at the survivors of his rapes."
Protesters say the board is not sending the right message.
"To boys and to young men, the message is sexual assault is fine if your important enough of a person. To girls and young women the message, assault really doesn't matter.," said a protester.
One protester pointed out that never has he seen Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing in recent memory. In this case the issue is the resignation of Dumler.
Protesters say they plan to be at every meeting until Dumler resigns.

A memorial to the UK victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was officially opened to the public in the Natural History Museum's Darwin Centre Courtyard on 6 July 2011.
The 3.7metre3 granite Indian Ocean Tsunami Memorial remembers the lives of 155 British citizens who lost their lives in the Tsunami's devastation on 26 December 2004.
'It is fitting that the Natural History Museum is home to this impressive new Memorial. An important part of our mission is to make sense of the natural world and I hope this Memorial will not only bring comfort to those who lost loved ones in the Tsunami, but also be a reminder to us all of the powerful and sometimes destructive force of nature.'
Dr Michael Dixon - Director of the Natural History Museum
The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was one of the worst natural disasters in living memory. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives and the impact of the devastation was felt across the world.

The Sumatra-Andaman Islands earthquake on 26 December 2004 was the largest globally for 40 years and the third largest since 1900.
The resulting uplift of the sea floor by several metres caused the most destructive tsunami in recorded history that killed reportedly 227, 898 people and displaced 1.7 million others in 14 countries around the Indian Ocean.
The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami first reached land 15 minutes after the earthquake and was experienced up to 7 hours later in Somalia, eastern Africa.
The largest death toll was in Indonesia where it is estimated around 170,000 people died. The Sumatran city of Banda Aceh was the worst hit area when the first of a sequence of waves arrived approximately 22 minutes after the initial earthquake.
In Sri Lanka, nearly 2,000km from the earthquake source, over 35,000 died making it the country's greatest natural disaster. Even in South Africa, 8,000km from the source several deaths were reported.
Up to a third of the victims have been reported as children and in some areas 4 times as many women as men were killed. About 1% of the casualties were tourists, mainly from northern Europe. The majority of these occurred in the holiday resorts in Thailand.
How the Tsunami appeared to people around the Indian Ocean would have depended where they were.
A tsunami is not a movement of water as such, it is the transmission of a huge pulse of energy through the water, rather like a wave that can be sent down a rope by shaking it at one end. Someone on a ship in the open ocean would probably have experienced little or no effect from the passing Tsunami, because in the open ocean, a tsunami is only about 1m high. Satellite observations 2 hours after the earthquake found the wave height in open water to be 60cm.
Once the Tsunami entered shallowing waters near the shore, it would have been witnessed as its energy was converted into a steep surge of water. In Banda Aceh it reached 24m to 30m in height.
In some places the wave trough arrived first, called a negative wave, causing the sea to retreat. People who recognised this as a warning of a tsunami may have been able to escape. For others, it may have been something intriguing to be investigated. Elsewhere the wave crest arrived first, called a positive wave, giving little or no warning of the Tsunami.
It is not always the first wave that is the largest and most destructive. Following waves can be more powerful. In Sri Lanka the second wave was the deadliest, in parts of Thailand it was the third.
Some areas, for example southwest India, might have been expected to be 'sheltered' by land directly in the path of the Tsunami. However, these areas were also affected because the wave moved around the land.
Before 2004, the Indian Ocean had suffered few tsunamis in historical times, the last major one being in 1833 which was focused on Sumatra but had little effect elsewhere.
In contrast to the Pacific, where tsunami damage is more frequent, no warning system was in place when the Sumatra-Andaman Islands earthquake struck. The Tsunami was detected in the Pacific but there was no way of contacting the relevant areas to warn people in time to evacuate.
It is reported that the indigenous tribes of the Andaman and Nicobar islands moved to high ground and avoided casualties. Their oral tradition associates earthquakes with large movements of water and so once they felt the earthquake, they managed to move out of the area in time.
A unified warning system is planned for the Indian Ocean area. However as of July 2010, this is not yet in place.
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales lays a wreath at the Tsunami Memorial opening on 6 July.
A memorial to the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was officially opened to the public on 6 July 2011. The ceremony was attended by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall and survivors, family and friends of the victims of the Tsunami.
The Memorial is the culmination of years of work by Tsunami Support UK (TSUK) and was made possible thanks to a grant from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The Memorial was designed by architectural studio Carmody Groarke.
Michael Holland, Chairman of the Tsunami Memorial Project Board said: 'This huge, singular geographical fragment will create a powerful reminder for generations to come of this momentous event in the Earth's natural history. Its purpose is to stop people forgetting. Within this new public space, the Memorial also offers a place for more quiet contemplation.
'We are immensely grateful to the DCMS for funding the memorial and to the Natural History Museum for making space available in its grounds – we can think of no better place to remember the lives of the UK family members and the over 225,000 others who perished in the Tsunami.'

Very good location, worth living in because of the view from the window. Living conditions were not of the highest standard, which, however, was not necessary because of the atmosphere and mountain spirit that this place is surrounded by.

Is there a way to tether video from D90 to rMBP?
Hello guys,
I have a dilemma - I would like to shoot some reference and it would help me to see directly what the video (and staging etc) will look like so I was thinking to position to my D90 for the video and then I would place my rMBP next to it but just facing the screen towards me so I can see everything and adjust it accordingly without the painful process of shooting it-look for errors, reshooting etc.
Is there a way to tether it directly? I know I could do it with pictures so as soon as I take a picture it shows in aperture but is there a way to have the live view on the mac too with video?
Thank you very much for any suggestions.
|Nov 8, 2012, 09:46 PM
You can try Image Capture or maybe Quicktime. Trial and error. I remember someone asking this before. idk if they got their answer. I think there is an issue maybe with the video from a DSLR to the computer.
I haven't tried it. Maybe you might try http://www.sofortbildapp.com/

An ingenious look at the Cold Warand how it can help America move forward
Adding a fresh perspective to the debate about Americas options in the war on terror, this lucid retrospective by one of the most admired voices in the national security arena answers an important and largely ignored question: How can the brilliance and energy of the great Cold War thinkers be recaptured and applied to the strategic challenges posed by transnational terrorism? In recounting the failures and successes of American strategists during the Cold War, Jonathan Stevenson synthesizes a massive amount of information from past and present to remind us that protecting the United States today will take more than good intelligenceit will also require exceptional imagination.
2. American Ways of Thinking
3. Sidelining the Unthinkable
4. Intellectual Dislocations of the Cold War
5. The Halting Leap Forward
6. Selective Nostalgia
" A penetrating and inventive exploration of the Cold War and its aftermath."

text: The best flat roof protection is probably a continuous membrane. If you decide you want to tile it, there are several methods that also would waterproof it. The roof needs some slope so stuff doesn't pool and if it can't slope to the outside, needs a drain of sufficient size, with the area sloped to the drain (similar to a shower). www.schluter.com makes a system that is designed to tile an outside roof deck, but if you don't want to tile it, and the area is walked on, you need something else. Most membranes are not designed to be walked on, but many can support an applied, floating wear surface on top of it. Flashing is critical on any roof, but even more so on a flat one, along with proper drainage.
